You’ll be ace at this, but good luck anyway and hope you enjoy it and decide to do lots more broadcasting, preferably on TV and preferably as as a New Labourite leaning to the left!!! And please don’t follow Iain Daie’s path and give up the day blog.
NewLabore? Riveting! Not only that but the wrong claret and blue. Show your true colours!
You look absolutely knackered. Best of luck with the show.

Only just seen your reply Quinney. Sorry for my flippant remark.
“the general election cost me a pair of shoes last year”
